I'm an "old lady" who doesn't do much late Friday nights except read...

"When I was little I believed in Jesus and Santa, spontaneous combustion, and the Loch Ness monster. Now I believe in science, statistics, and antibiotics."
Winner of the 2012 Australian Text Prize
"When I was little I believed in Jesus and Santa, spontaneous combustion, and the Loch Ness monster. Now I believe in science, statistics, and antibiotics."
So says seventeen-year-old Zac Meier during a long, grueling leukemia treatment in Perth, Australia.
A loud blast of Lady Gaga alerts him to the presence of Mia, the angry, not-at-all-stoic cancer patient in the room next door.
Once released, the two near-strangers can't forget each other, even as they desperately try to resume normal lives.
The story of their mysterious connection drives this unflinchingly tough, tender novel told in two voices.

MY THOUGHTS
I honestly don't know what to think, especially since I have recently/already read the book...
I feel like the characters voices are falling a bit flat and not really reflecting their personalities.
Other than that, the summary is spot on and I really, really loved this book to pieces!
This is right up there with the works of Rainbow Rowell's ELEANOR & PARK and E. Lockhart's writing in WE WERE LIARS... a true favorite!!!
What do you think of ZAC & MIA?!?!
My review will be posted sometime on September 13th or 14th...
Got any favorite book trailers?! Please share!!!
I plan to pick up Zac & Mia soon, but I think that trailer is really cute! I love the animated look to it. Although I haven't read the book the voice of Mia sounds a little old, but I am SO excited to read this book!
